Update on the April 24th Baby Shower

WOW.

We contacted a ZILLION companies for donations to the Teddy Bear Den, in an attempt to make sure we would have donations for the charity, giveaway prizes for our virtual shower and items to serve as door prizes for the actual shower.

We weren't sure what kind of a response we'd get, but - YOU GUYS - the response has been AMAZING. I haven't even finished updating the blog with all of the info yet, because there are only so many hours in a day. We have so many donations! It's almost an embarrassment of riches.

So what I'm saying is that if you come to the shower on the 24th and bring a donation (baby items - diapers, wipes, baby clothes, etc.) you've got about a 90% shot at leaving with an awesome door prize - from companies like RodWorks, PCLaptops, Blush, The Vintage Pearl, Wishes and Whimsy, D'Lea Designs, Cherry Hill, Classic Fun Center, Great Clips, Leatherby's, The Pie, Hollywood Connection, Wonderfully Wordy, and more. It's open house style - so you don't have to stay to play.

Please, please RSVP and please come - and bring your friends, family, kids, and husbands. There will be lots of treats - we'll have cake and cookies and cupcakes from a variety of generous local bakeries like CookieTree, Lofthouse Cookies, Amberlicious Cakes, and the Sweet Tooth Fairy.

And then don't miss the virtual shower the following week - where anyone who donates has a chance to win donated products from Ulta, Shabby Apple, Marili Jean, Belly Buds, Doodlekins, Watch My Style Utah, Flowerz in Her Hair, and many more.

Oh - and don't forget about the writing contest. Right now you've got about a 1 in 5 shot at winning the $100 gift basket...

PS: I want to publicly thank our friend Kate Bodily (who doesn't even have a blog) so very much for everything she's done to help us obtain sponsor donations. She's the soul of generosity, and we are indebted to her.
